I was trying to rotate the entire model to align with the grid of another building. I need to do that in order to export to Navisworks easily without any adjustment.
After I select the entire model in 3d view, and going back to the plan view, the rotate tool is ghosted. What's the reason of it? See attached file.
I have modeled a building that's a typical shoe box (rectangular shape building).
When I searched the address in Google earth, the true north of the site is not perpendicular to the building: it's angled.
When I chose "Acquire from Google earth" at the Site level, it gave me exactly what I saw in Google earth.
My question is:
I have finished the model of the building in Revit which doesn't align with what I acquired from Google earth. How do you align the model to the Google earth image? Do you have to literally rotate the entire building to align the Google earth image?
Also is there a difference between Google earth and Google earth pro for this task?
After I have rotated an entire floor plan drawing 180 degrees, the texts and room names have also been rotated upside down.What is the solution to the problem so that the texts/room names will not be upside down after I rotated the drawing 180 degrees?
Drawing started in LDD a few years ago. It was on a local coordinate system of 1000,1000.
The drawing has since been migrated to C3D2012. Now we have data in UTM coordinates that we need to match to the old data. Actually, we want to shift/rotate the entire original set of data to match the new UTM data, so we can continue in UTM for all future data collection.
So, I went through and turned all layers on, Thawed them and unlocked them. I made sure all points were visable, etc. Then I tried to move the original data (I also tried the align command, etc., with the same results) and found a glitch. After I moved the data, I found that there was some points and survey figures as well as a cooridore, that had not moved. The vast majority of the drawing had moved as expected, but the afore mentioned data would not move.
I started to work now with HD clips captured from my new HD camcorder. At the EDIT step, the play back of the entire project is not smooth, there is no continuity of the video and the audio. After the SHARE/CREATE VIDEO FILE step, the play back runs good.
For example I have some complicated animation in 500 - 300 px size.Are there ways to enlarge the entire animation up to 1000 - 600 px or some another size?Using presets for responsive layout leads to unexpected results, may be it solves only simple cases when objects have similar characteristics and so.I had made a complex animation and then found out the size might be 2 times bigger - doet it mean I'd start from the beginning?
I'm using the trial version of After Effects. Sometimes the rendering que will render an entire project, other times it will only render a single frame of the project. Is there a reason why the rendering process is performing in such a way?
URL....I need to copy one entire project and then rename them all, it has about 1500 parts/assys that I need to rename.
Instead of renaming all items of my project, one by one using Design Assistant, could I just make some kind of rule that renames all the parts/assy's in my project, and then update its PART NUMBER too ?
because my register code is something like this : TAG-0000-0000-00, and the only thing that's gonna change its the string TAG, nothing else. I could try to change only the first 6 that are the TAG, but this sequence of rename/open/update, how to make, and even if that's possible. Or maybe have any other specific tool to rename things this way instead of Design Assistant ?
The mayaProject (and all it's subfolders: scenes, assets, etc.) was created in Maya, and the OLDname folder was where I kept it and the other files related to the project.
After renaming that folder, when I double clicked the Project01.ma file to launch Maya, I received this error: // Error: Wrong number of arguments on call to pv_performAction
When I relaunched Maya by its icon and used the File > Open Scene… option, I received this error: // Error: Wrong number of arguments on call to performFileAction does not match number of parameters in procedure definition.
In both cases, Maya opened a blank Untitled file, instead of my Project01.ma file. When I changed the name of that folder back to OLDname, the Project01.ma file opened properly.
My question is, how can I rename or move this folder and still preserve the file hierarchy that Maya needs to open the Project01.ma file?
I used railing tools and created railing in the project files. i want to change rail and Baluster.i created metric baluster and rail from family and saved in the local drive. i used in to my project also it is working fine.
i want to use this railing to some other project. how to get it either copy past or revit link or any other way because the railing created in project file.
I recently had some problems with auto-save. I was working on a project when my computer stoped working and I had to force shutting down. However, my Premiere CC is set to auto-save every 15 minutes. When I went to see the auto-save files I didn't find my entire work. I had several sequences previously the one I was left with. What had happen?
I modeled an apartment building with 4 floors, etc, and I'd like to make an exact copy of this building twice, because this area has three identical apartment buildings side by side. How can I do this properly?
I've attached a simple RVT file with a family inserted and the front view active. I need to rotate the family 90 degrees but Revit reports the following error:
"Can't draw because Work Plane is at a very sharp angle in this view. Go to another view or redefine the Work Plane."
I have a drawing which crashes out of Revit 2013 SP2 as soon as I want to Rotate to True North. In fact if I use any tool under the Manage -> Location area.
I had a closer look at the drawing and I cant find the Survey and Project Base points.I assume this is related.
I turned on their visibility in Visual Graphics. I tried turning them on by using the Reveal Hidden Objects. Typed ZA and I then selected all the info ( Crop View off ) and looked at the filter. No Survey or Base Points. I also tried setting the View Range very large but I still cannot see these Points.
I know these points have been hard coded into the RVT files and I tried deleting them from another drawing as a test but couldn't.
Is there any way I can find them quickly? or getting them back?
I have cleaned up the drawing and I can upload the drawing (27MB )?
Is it possible to rotate a viewport to an angle other than 90 degrees. I am trying to rotate a viewport 11 degrees counter clockwise. I cannot rotate the model.
I need to constrain a handle to a butterfly valve and add a parameter for rotating the handle angle. I can't achieve this as when I constrain the handle to the valve the handle will not rotate without breaking the positional constraints.
I've tried looking at the door swing posts but they don't use circular objects and I can't get them to work for my valve.
Some time ago, I used Adobe Reader (the basic one) to view and rotate a 3D model from Autocad. Yes, I know that I can export a Revit model into a DWFX and view it in Design Review, but that requires a ferr Design Review download. Some clients don't have administrator rights, are too lazy, don't have the computer savy to install, etc..., so a PDF 3D model would be nice.
---Is this possible with Revit? ---Is this possible with Autocad?
I have Adobe X Pro where I can enable this if Revit and CAD have the ability to print a 3D PDF.
I can place a solar panel on the surface of the roof (flush with roof surface), but cannot tilt it up. No matter what I try, an error message comes up saying "can't rotate element into this position".Have tried creating new panel, renaming it, etc. The panel seems to have a constraint of some sort that I cannot override.
I am trying to create a light fixture with a head that can rotate in two axis so that the light can aim up or down and left or right.
I have been unable to create a light fixture that can rotate up and down as shown in the Revit help files.
Here is a resume of my two attempts at creating this and the reasons why they failed:
Embedded family solution: The embedded family will not rotate vertically even as a face based fixture hosted on a line reference. If you rotate the line reference in the horizontal axis, the hosted embedded fixture ignores the rotation and does not follow.
Unique family solution: The light source will not move even if it is locked to a reference line, it evokes an error.
I am trying to create a custom planter based off some line work that I did in my project. It has a curve. basically what I have done is created the line work on plan but now I want to use that curved line to create my family. which I am thinking I can create a profile and then sweep it on those lines. The problem is I can get the line work to the family.
If i delete a family from the project browser, under families expanded folder group, will this delete them from the project and reduce the file size?
Best way to delete just unwanted families that have been loaded into the model?
I know of purging the model but i believe this will potentially delete tags i may want and other information that just not being utilized at the time of purge.
